Primos Trigger Stick Apex Carbon Fiber Tripod with MagnaSwitch, Tan

Description

When you're hunting well off the beaten path, a wobbly rest can cost you the shot. The Primos Trigger Stick Apex was built for exactly that kind of country, running lightweight 100% carbon fiber legs that deploy fast and adjust on the fly with a squeeze of the trigger. The whole tripod tips the scales at roughly 7 pounds, so it won't wear you down on a long pack in, and the leg angles open up for sitting, kneeling, or standing.

What the MagnaSwitch Head Brings to the Apex

The standout feature here is the MagnaSwitch magnetic mounting system with patented Spartan Precision Technology. Install the included classic rifle adapter on your stock, and you can drop your rifle onto the head and pull it off in seconds. It gives you smooth 360-degree panning along with elevation, depression, and cant adjustment, and the same head lets you swap over to a spotting scope, binoculars, or a camera. The system is machined from aerospace-grade aluminum, so it holds up hunt after hunt.

Apex Frame Stability Where It Counts

The Apex Frame is the reason this thing stays planted. It supports a hefty 50-pound load capacity, which means it doesn't blink at heavier rifles or crossbows. You get quick height changes and smooth panning from a low seated rest all the way up to nearly six feet, and the folded height packs down to about 32 inches. A removable mounting plate makes switching from a gun clamp to your glass quick work in the field.

Field reports from hunters lean positive on this one. It gets praise for being light, fast to deploy, and steady enough for real hunting rifles, and folks who run Spartan gear like being able to swap between their bipod and the tripod head. Compared to full Spartan tripod setups, plenty consider the Apex a smart value that doesn't give up much in the way of real-world performance.
